Pressure
December 2, 2010
Sinking,
Sinking,
Sinking.
The chains around my feet hinder me.
I am drowning.
They drag me
Down,
Down,
Down.
Does anyone see me drowning?
I don’t know if I can take this anymore.
The shackles rub against my ankles as if they are old friends.
Fight,
Fight,
Fight.
The key is in my hand.
I unlock the shackles that held me.
Now I can
Breathe,
Breathe,
Breathe.
